Description:
The welfare and development of the Faculty falls under the jurisdiction of the FAC excluding specific issues that are the jurisdiction of the other two Senate Councils, the
Academic Policy and Review Council and the Collegial Review Council. In particular, the following fall under the
jurisdiction of the FAC:
- Student Assessment Instruments
Membership of the FAC shall include:
- Senators, preferably at least one from each College
- one faculty representative from each of the Dean's Advisory Committee chosen annually by that body.
Once the Council membership is established, if there is no representation from a particular College, the Dean of the
affected College shall be requested to provide a member. If a Dean does not meet this expectation within 10 working days of the request,
such vacancy will be filled by the Senate Leadership. The Chair of the FAC must be a Senator and will be appointed by Senate
Leadership. The Chair will serve a one-year term and shall be eligible for additional terms.
Examples of issues worked on 2007-8 and 2008-2009: Student Evaluations and Validation Plan for the
Student Assessment Instrument, Parking, VA Tech Recommendations, Faculty Membership on UAC, Copyright and Patent Policy
